About this listen

'From the Field' delves into the diverse world of development work across different geographic regions, spotlighting a singular country and a pertinent issue area in each episode. Aiming to weave a narrative around the experiences of individuals who dedicate themselves to development efforts. From tracing their career and academic journey to understanding their pivotal roles in the field and contextualizing their stories against the backdrop of the area's political and social history. By prioritizing interviews with individuals from diverse contexts, we aim to present an authentic perspective, free from the confines of an external, academic lens.© 2025 Grace Stanley Social Sciences

    Inequality. Hyperglobalization. Historical legacies. Global value chains. Corporate social responsibility. Buyer-driven commodity. Many terms are used in the context of the garment industry in Bangladesh. The terms used depend on who speaks on the subject. In this podcast, the voice is given to journalist, dedicated activist, and labour rights defender, Saydia Gulrukh, representing the activist movement in Bangladesh. In conversation with Luc Bitterli, MSc in Development Studies, whose time with SwissConnect in Dhaka, Bangladesh developed a keen interest in this industry and through the episode works to unravel its historical nuances and socio-political underpinnings.
